You probably know the drill: spring forward, fall back. Oh, and you’re supposed to check the batteries in your smoke detectors while you’re at it.

But, the twice-a year checkups and updates around your home don’t have to stop there.

Now that daylight saving time is ending, at 2 a.m. on Sunday, November 1, here’s a list of things to do in addition to setting your clocks back one hour.

These tasks should help you get ready for the seasons ahead:

Let’s start with those batteries. Don’t just check them. Go ahead and replace the batteries in your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. It’s a good time to change the batteries in your flashlights and weather alert radios, too, if you have them. But, don’t toss the old batteries, assuming they still have some life left. Use them in toys or electronic devices until they go dead. Then recycle them.

While you’re checking clocks, keep an eye out for light bulbs that might need to be replaced. This is a good time to swap out old conventional bulbs with modern energy-efficient ones.

Often overlooked, furnace filters should be replaced regularly. This is one of the most effective ways to increase the lifespan of your furnace.

Clean out your clothes dryer filter and hoses to reduce the risk of fire.

Check to see that your fire extinguishers are still pressurized and functional.

Go through your first aid and emergency kits and replace expired items. This includes the emergency kit for your pet.

Switch the direction of your ceiling fans. In the spring and summer, they should turn counterclockwise, to force cooler air down; in the fall and winter, they should turn clockwise, to draw cooler air up and force warmer air down.

Check household plumbing—pipes under your sinks and toilets, in the basement, behind the washer, showers and tubs—to ensure there are no small leaks and that they will get adequate heat once the weather turns cold.

Give your cars a thorough going-over. Look for burned-out lights, worn-out wiper blades, fluids due for replacement. Is it time for an oil change? How’s your tire pressure, and what shape are the treads in? This is also a good time to restock your car with winter safety essentials, such as a windshield scraper and chains.

Update virus and malware protection software on your computers.

If you have a home inventory, this pass through the house is a perfect opportunity to update it with any new acquisitions. If you don’t have one yet, there’s no better time to get stated.

Finally, this is a great time to review and, if needed, update your homeowners insurance policy. Remember, you’ll need to fall back on your home insurance if you have a covered loss, such as a fire or hail damage, so be sure you have the coverage you want.

Featured Member:Kahrl & Co. Insurance

Submitted by Josh Kirby

Tell us a bit about the company’s background:Kahrl & Company has been serving the fine folks of Knox County since 1907. Our goal today remains the same as it was more than 100 years ago: provide outstanding customer service while equipping our customers with peace of mind throughout life’s changes. Our offices are located in downtown Mount Vernon, but we serve all of Knox County, and Ohio. The agency was started by the Mr. Kahrl and then his son Allen Kahrl took over. After Allen, Ron Godfrey was the president. Ron, as well as Bud Ott, Sam Laudeman, and Rick Shaw grew Kahrl & Co. into Knox County’s best Insurance agency. The back bone of any insurance agency is the staff. We have been blessed to have many on staff for several years. Jackie Hannah has worked at Kahrl & Co.for almost 30 years and Loretta Carter has been working here for almost 20 years.

What are some services you provide?
We provide insurance in the following areas: home, auto, commercial, agricultural, life, health, annuities and retirement.

What sets your business apart?
We are committed to providing peace of mind throughout life’s changes. Whether you are a single person just starting out, a young family, a retired couple, or a business, we can customize your insurance to meet your needs. We are a local downtown business, not a call center. When you have a claim, you don’t have to deal with someone out of state or a call center; you can come and sit down face-to-face and have your needs taken care of.

What’s new at Kahrl & Co.?
We recently (July 2012) purchased the building and had a complete remodel. The building had not had many improvements done to it in many years. We couldn’t be happier with the way things turned out. STOP BY AND SEE OUR NEW DIGS!

What might surprise people to know about Kahrl & Co.?
People may be surprised to know that I (Josh Kirby) am not from Knox County. I grew up in New Hampshire, went to school in Florida and CHOOSE to live in Knox County. This is a tremendous place to raise a family! We couldn’t have chosen a better place to raise our three kids.

Why is it important for you to be part of HCA?
I want to be a participant in the direction of the downtown area. So many downtowns are dead and rundown. In the 10+ years that we have lived in Mount Vernon, the downtown has seen many changes. It’s exciting to see what projects are scheduled and what has been done recently, including our own building. I want to make the downtown area a place that people WANT to do business.
